GATEWAY TO THE STOICS: Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, Epictetus's Enchiridion, and Selections from Seneca's Letters

The challenge of the Stoics is to pursue answers to the great questions of life and the universe without succumbing to passions or despair--in other words, to master oneself and to seek truth. The responses of Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca to the challenges of life have commanded attention for thousands of years and continue to inspire readers today.
